GOProud actually seems like a pretty good group. It was specifically formed in overt, and decidedly fervent, opposition to the phony "Log Cabin Republicans". The principle founders of GOProud exposed LCR repeatedly supporting Democrats, and partisan Democrat policies, and betraying Republican principles of limited government, fiscal restraint, free enterprise and etc.
Even for those conservatives that differ with gays on the social issues, why reject their support on nearly every other aspect of movement conservatism?
Yeah. Their agenda has a bigger list of "give me's" than most groups.
***********************
Because that's not their objective. Their first objective is the homosexual agenda.
BS. The GOProud’s legislative agenda posted on their website is 90% homosexual agenda. If you have read it, and you still think it’s conservative or that they are any better than the LCR you have reading or cognitive problems.

Here is their agenda with the homosexual agenda parts noted:

You think GOProud has a conservative agenda? Get you head out of the sand or whatever dark place it’s stuck. Here’s GOProud’s legislative agenda, 90% homo-nazi agenda crap.
Note that these homosexual agenda pushers with a fake label on want to “hold the line” on gov spending. Hold the freaking line? When it’s way over in the “insane” territory? And punish other countries who are mean to sexual perverts? Sheesh! And of course they like “hate crimes” bills - not exactly small government - and employment protection (aka “you can’t fire homosexuals”). You like those examples of Big Brother Gov?
GOProud’s “Conservative” HA HA Agenda
(The following from their website with my comments)
The so-called “gay agenda” is defined by the left through a narrow prism of legislative goals. While ****hate crimes and employment protections may be worthy goals****, there are many other important priorities that receive little attention from the gay community. GOProud’s agenda emphasizes conservative and libertarian principles that will improve the daily lives of all Americans, but especially gay and lesbian Americans.
1 - TAX REFORM - Death tax repeal; ****domestic partner tax equity****, and other changes to the tax code that will provide equity for gays and lesbians; cut in the capital gains and corporate tax rates to jump start our economy and create jobs; a fairer, flatter and substantially simpler tax code.
2 - HEALTHCARE REFORM - Free market healthcare reform. Legislation that will allow for the purchase of insurance across state lines - expanding access to ****domestic partner benefits****; emphasizing individual ownership of healthcare insurance - such a shift would prevent discriminatory practices by an employer or the government.
3 - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM - Bringing basic fairness to the Social Security system through the creation of **** inheritable personal savings accounts.**** ie for homosexual “partners”.
4 - DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL REPEAL - ****Repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.**** THEY WANT OPEN HOMOSEXUALS IN THE MILITARY FOLKS!
5 - HOLDING THE LINE ON SPENDING - Standing up for all tax payers against wasteful and unnecessary spending to protect future generations from the mounting federal debt.
6 - FIGHTING GLOBAL EXTREMISTS - Standing strong against **** radical regimes who seek to criminalize gays and lesbians****. [even Muslim ones?]
7 - DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION - Opposing any **** anti-gay federal marriage amendment****. THEY WANT HOMOSEXUAL aka SAME SEX MARRIAGE SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS
8 - ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP - Package of free market reforms to encourage and support small businesses and entrepreneurship *****in the gay community****. HOW SPECIAL - BENNIES FOR HOMOSEXUALS! HOW CONSERVATIVE!
9 - REVITALIZING OUR COMMUNITIES - A package of urban related reforms; expanding historic tax preservation credits; support for school choice. (note: since homosexuals congregate in city centers, this is for upgrades to their own personal hangouts obviously.)
10 - DEFENDING OUR COMMUNITY - Protecting 2nd amendment rights
